UPDATE: The 2/14 class has been canceled due to weather. Please join us 2/21!
Original post: Starting Valentine’s Day, LINES Dance Center will host dance and movement classes in UN Plaza every Thursday at 12:30pm. Running for 12 weeks, these free, outdoor classes — weather permitting — are for everyone, novice and professional alike! With fun beats and talented instructors, these energizing dance fitness classes will help slough off the mid-day slump and re-energize the rest of the afternoon. Additionally, once a month following these half-hour classes, Alonzo King LINES Ballet Training Program Students will take to the “stage” of UN Plaza and perform.
Also happening on Thursdays is the continuation of the gathering of Off the Grid food trucks from 11am to 2pm — grab a bite before or after dance class. And stroll through the ongoing UN Plaza Gift Gallery (9am-5pm); find something for your Valentine — or something for yourself!
